Annual," for 1857, a $ taken near Hull, on the authority of 

 Mr. J. C. Dale.

Mr. Lucas said that in his book on British Dragonflies 

 he had noted several points of distinction, but he would add 

 the shape of the abdomen (more constricted near the base in 

 *S'. v^dyatum), and the form of the genitalia (as shown in an 

 accompanying drawing), absence of yellow dots on abdomen in 

 S. vulgatum, judging by Mr, Campion's specimen, did not 

 hold good and must be erased from his list of differences and 

 that of De Selys', 



Mr. R. Adkin exhibited a short series of Tortrix p'onuhana, 

 Hb., including both sexes, which he had reared from larvse 

 and pupaj collected from Euonymus at Eastbourne in September 

 last. The only previous records for the species in Britain 

 were single male examples captured at Eastbourne (" Proc. Ent. 

 Soc. Lond." 1905, Ixiii), and at Bognor (" Ent. Mo. Mag." xli, 

 276) respectively in the autumn of 1905. The series exhibited 

 therefore represented the first specimens reared in this coun- 

 try, and it was interesting to know that a species so recently 

 taken for the first time in Britain was not a mere casual 

 visitor, but that it had gained a footing on our shores and 

 that there appeared good prospect of it becoming permanently 

 established.
